Language status problems
editThe website said the language says extinct; it's right and The Italian Wikipedia said the language has 7560 native speakers but both have need citation needed; the website it's incorrect; language status has confusing problems; citation needed for language status confusion; and Palpa language status supposed to be extinct but Italian Wikipedia didn't use extinct, instead they did 7560 native speakers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ExplodingPoPUps (talk • contribs) 02:47, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Another source?
editI just came across this title (recently added at Kumal people):
- Panthī, Dīna (2002). Pālpā-Gulmelī upabhāshika: Lumbinī Añcalakā tīna Pahāṛī jillā Gulmī, Ardhākhān̐cī ra Pālpāmā boline Nepālī bhāshākā sthānīya bhedako biśesha adhyayana (in Nepali). Nepāla Rājakīya Prajñā-Pratishṭhāna.
I don't understand Nepali, and I'm wondering if this book might not be relevant for this article? Usedtobecool, what are your thoughts? – Uanfala (talk) 17:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- Uanfala, I do not have access to the book; will have to look for it once (/if?!) the world reopens for business. It is apparently all about the dialects of Nepali spoken in three districts: Palpa, Arghakhanchi and Gulmi. From what turns up in excerpt previews, the book does talk of "Palpali speech" and "Palpa-Gulmeli Upabhashika" (Upabhashika is Sanskrit, so you probably know what it means; I am not sure exactly what it is in context, Bhashika is smaller than Bhasha (language), and Upa- (sub-) makes it even smaller). There's a chance but not a good one; no hits for "Serampur Press" or "Bible" in the book. Usedtobecool ☎️ 18:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
